Traveling Home - Hawaii

Karen and Bud decided to stop by Hawaii and enjoy a little 'chill time' before heading home. 

Traveling to Laie we felt the need to stop at one of the many Shrimp Shacks featured on the Food Channel.  

Seven Brothers

Our first Mission President, President Hanemann,  owned some restaurants named Seven Brothers after his 7 boys.  We had to stop by. 

Polynesian Cultural Center

Our 2nd Mission President, President Ho Ching,  was a VP at the PCC.   He gratuitously gave us a pass to the PCC.  It has changed drastically since I visited it in 1972 as a missionary studying Japanese in the Language Mission Center then in 2000 when we went as a family after Ryan's mission.   

 We had Kap, who works in the Samoan Village and is also an artist, sign a print of his that we purchased.

No trip to Hawaii is complete with a little 'beach time' snorkeling and swimming and checking out turtles.  

Hawaiian Sunsets 

Every visit to Hawaii should included a visit to the Hawaiian Temple
